I initially had the same thought....But then adjusted it to Three Wilbury's have Traveled on, and keep on Traveling. I hope the other two take their own sweet time before joining them...But I'm selfish that way:-)

I guess their work is done here and God is calling them home. We are only promised a life not how long it will be. Some l a few years and others die as old men. Jesus only lived 33 years. It's a miracle that we were born in the first place so we just have to accept the plan...

The longer you live and follow popular culture the more famous people will be on your radar. So in simple terms people over 50 will be affected by more celebrity deaths than someone under 20. Also, chances are that most of the celebrities dying now will have been big in the 1960s/1970s

Yes, it's called VERY HARD LIVING. Any one in rock music through the 60's, 70's and 80' were exposed to huge drug and alcohol lifestyles (not nessasarily abuse but just around it all the time) hard lives on the road, constant rigors on the body, unbalanced lives, just the stress of life in that era. Also, in those days smoking was very prevalent, so again, the health issues would be passed on that would show up now.

So it is only normal, they would reach this age and many of them, Henley, Bowie, etc. would be passing away right about the same time. It wasn't that long ago that almost all the rock stars, Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Cobain, died at 27. Amazing anyone lives a lot longer than that actually. I guess 66 has become the new 27.

Coming from that era and being around that business a lot, many of my friends and contemporaries have gone through similar issues with health. We all came from the "Live hard, live fast, leave a good looking corpse" mentality.

I wish that I could say welcome back, but that would be hypocritical of me.

JPFer's?

Fdemetrio is Bugsey, is TrentB , is Ben Jones, is half a dozen other anonymous members....

I've PM'd him many times, offering an olive branch to just come clean...Nothing but a branch full of thorns and lies has come back.

And now he's back again......sigh...

Why does that piss me off? Because these Forums have a certain amount of integrity to them. We basically know who we're dealing with, and we often disagree, as most families do, but at least we know who we're talking to:-)

But when one Troll, who has signed up under at least 9 different names keeps crashing in, often responding to one of his other anonymous names' posts, then that integrity, that "trust", is broken...And that hurts everyone.

Ya'll know that I basically stick to the General Forum these days, ie: The Telethon II thread....Please feel free to check it out and join in on the fun:-)
